  Document based reliable scalable database with nicely designed HTTP/JSON interface. With accompanient of Pouchdb can be the best choice for offline-first applications with low effort data syncronisation. - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago

• Comparing local-first frameworks and approaches

  “The Database that Syncs!” shouts the PouchDB homepage. PouchDB is another new local-first/sync database. PouchDB is a JavaScript database that runs in the browser, allowing developers to create applications that work offline and sync with server-side databases when online. It’s designed to be compatible with (and is inspired by) Apache’s NoSQL CouchDB. - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago

• Major updates from the open source community: Release Radar · June 2024

  Speaking of databases, this one is pocket-sized. PouchDB is a JavaScript database designed to run in the browser. This latest release includes over 202 merged PRs 😮, and comes with improved stability and performance. There's the ability to streamline the automated test suites and improve in-browser testing. Read up on the major changes in the changelog. - Source: dev.to / 10 months ago

• What Happens When You Put a Database in the Browser?

  Another interesting option is PouchDB[0], which is a Javascript implementation of the CouchDB[1] synchronization API. It allows you to acheive eventual consistency between a client with intermittent connectivity, and a backend database.

• Are Sync Engines The Future of Web Applications?

  If you've been following trends in the web-dev world, you'd know that sync engines have been a centrepiece in several of them, namely: progressive web apps, offline-first apps, and the lately trending term: local-first software. You might have even looked into some of the databases that offer a built-in sync engine such as PouchDb or online services that do the same (e.g., Firestore). I have too, but my general... - Source: dev.to / 11 months ago

  How does this compare to PouchDB[1]? [1]: https://pouchdb.com/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Local-first software: You own your data, in spite of the cloud (2019)

  Meteor wrapped the MongoDB API for this purpose. You are working with collections and can run the same queries over them, regardless of whether you are connected to a DB instance or the browser's local storage. For CouchDB an equivalent exists in the form of PouchDB: https://pouchdb.com/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Modern SQL Databases Are Changing Web Development: Part 1

  Not sure if you're thinking more of an official standard but PouchDB is open source and sounds similar to what you're talking about: https://pouchdb.com/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Figma Is a File Editor

  I have another use case that DO would be perfect for, and that's sync for offline first apps. I have two offline first apps, both using PouchDB[1] as client database and CouchDB as server database. I'd love to replace CouchDB with DO. Maybe you can hire some of the people contributing to PouchDB to build a backend for it using DO?

  PouchDB: this is a wrapper around IndexedDB and WebSQL which is compatible with your backend CouchDB setup. - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago

• Building an offline-first app with React and CouchDB

  PouchDB is a JavaScript database usable on both the browser and server, heavily inspired by CouchDB. It's a powerful database already thanks to a great API, but its ability to sync with one or more databases makes it a no-brainer for offline capable apps. By enabling PouchDB to sync with CouchDB, we can focus on writing data directly in PouchDB and it will take care of syncing that data with CouchDB, eventually.... - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

• Is it possible to bundle a SQlite database file into a ReactJS web application using webpack?

  I'm not going to go into whether you should or shouldn't do that, it completely depends on your use case. Now, on how to do it - you can't use SQLite in a web app. Your best bet is indexeddb, which is very well suported https://caniuse.com/indexeddb or WebSQL, which is less-so https://caniuse.com/?search=websql or perhaps something like https://pouchdb.com/.

• PDF Reviewer (3) - The Architecture

  The Viewer. It serves a PDF viewer which is built on top of the Mozilla PDF.js library. Another component is the PouchDB library, which we use to store annotations locally. - Source: dev.to / almost 3 years ago

• I could use design advice

  You should try nosql but instead of Mongooose I'd suggest going against the grain a bit and look at PouchDB. Source: almost 3 years ago

• What's considered non-trivial?

  I would definitely hone in on React if that is your choice of frameworks. Nodejs is a good choice for server side as well. If you're looking to stay purely js, I saw https://pouchdb.com/. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Best way to make an offline-first React app supporting web + desktop + mobile?

  For data storage / syncing I plan to use RTK for app state (auth, ui, note edits) and possibly PouchDB for persistent local state and built-in syncing to a CouchDB server. My other option would be to just persist local data with SQLite, and roll my own logic to sync that to an SQL server. Source: about 3 years ago

• An observable Database for the Web

  Yes, a similar and more popular solution like this is PouchDB, and looking at the example of the library this is a wrapper over PouchDB. Looking at stars for PouchDB on GitHub (14k) it really popular solution. And RxDB just adds the Reactive part. Source: over 3 years ago
